Foots Cray Area Guide & Local Information: Foots Cray is in the London Borough of Bexley and lies southeast of Sidcup, beside the River Cray.
Wealthy Londoners inhabited Foots Cray and Sidcup during Victorian times, although both areas' roots were agricultural. Londoners enjoyed the area's privacy whilst living relatively close to The City.
Some large country residences from that period remain in Foots Cray today. The arrival of the Sidcup station brought businesses to Foots Cray, but even after some industrialisation, Foots Cray remains a small town. There are residential developments along Cray Road and towards Sidcup.
Parts of Foots Cray have business parks with companies like Coca-Cola European Partners, which has a large canning facility. One of the area's most significant and historic buildings is Foots Cray Place. It was constructed in 1754 and posed a stunning example of a Palladian villa-style building.
Unfortunately, during WWII, the villa suffered bomb damage and was demolished in the 1950s after a significant fire in 1949. Large parts of the manor's grounds are now recreational areas known as Foots Cray Meadows. The meadows offer abundant green spaces spread over many acres of woodland grassland and a wide variety of wildlife.
Foots Cray Meadows is also home to the scenic Five Arches Bridge. This famous landmark attracts visitors and artists captivated by its dramatic structure and several other historic buildings, like the former Foots Cray school. Grade II-listed All Saints' Church Rectory Lane is another symbolic landmark.
Residents of Foots Cray utilise Sidcup Station, which is in Travelcard Zone 5 and operates regular trains into London Charing Cross. St Mary Cray station is also nearby. The area has easy access to the A20, and plenty of local bus services are available. Foots Cray will appeal to family homemakers. People enjoy the abundance of green spaces and the easy commute to the city.
